Urban greenery – same as streets, squares and buildings – shall have defined program activities and shall aim to contribute to the urban mechanism by means of functionality, not only by its aesthetic standard. By means of field and landscape design we can answer the issue of flooding of road crossings and define grassy islands, purposeless so far. We give a space to…

The current layout of the Liberty Square comes from architects Virgil Droppa, Juraj Hovorka and Juraj Hlavica from 1980; the surrounding functionalist-style buildings are also a heritage of socialism. Since 1980, the landmark of the Square has been the Druzba (Friendship) Fountain by architect Karol Lacko. It is the largest fountain in Bratislava. The core of this work consists of a stainless steel…

The backbone of the Kramare district, the Limbova and Stromova streets, are regularly overloaded with traffic. The combination of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, bus stops, ambulances and visitors looking for parking or trying to get out of the parking area causes dangerous situations. There are some 35 angled, and a few parallel, places in front of the hospital; if these are taken, the…

Radlinskeho street is located near the centre of Bratislava. It has a strategic position – it connects the Old Town and New Town; crosses important streets of major institutions and, in particular, interconnects the Slovak Technical University campus with dormitories on Wilson street and Juraj Hronec dormitories. At present, however, it is very dangerous for students to use a bike as a means…

Similar…

AB-BA project is a comprehensive analysis and new draft orientation system for public transport in Bratislava. I was dealing with the issue through a landmark plan, which is currently chaotic, without systematic thought and thus unusable. At first, it was necessary to collect amounts of data and analyze the current situation for the design of new guidance system. I examined the individual elements of guidance — connections,…

Urban landscape does not definitely mean an omnipresent vegetation, where a green idyll creates a single context of the existing architecture as an endless panorama of vegetation replacing the city. Also, these are not parks that get public character just because of being the final goal for escape from the city.

Urban landscape is a counterweight to buildings in terms of its public…

The city is full of abandoned green areas with low biodiversity and areas that could be green – areas that could serve as shelter for pollinators.

Bees, butterflies and bumble bees help flowering plants reproduce and are responsible for every third bite we put into our mouths.

However, pollinators are declining due to chemicals, climate change and loss of habitat. Suitable areas in…

Aggregate data on city life coming from the crowd may bring forth important information, based on which the reasons for recurrent problems may be analyzed. It is possible to see the Odkazprestarostu.sk portal this way, as a source of information on broader city problems and as an appropriate instrument for dealing with specific drawbacks (potholes, full bins, etc.). The problems identified thanks to…
